1993 Chevrolet Suburban K2500 HD review from North America
"A huge truck with a great attitude"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with the truck.
Hydro-boost line was leaking when I bought the truck.
Replaced Alternator with higher amp model at 92,000 miles.
Changed all the filters and fluids when I purchased the truck.
General comments?
This truck weighs in at 9975 lbs full of gas. It has a rear end out of a K3500 pick-up and will pull anything.
We get very little snow where I live, so most people are not accustomed to winter diving. Last winter I came upon a city snow plow that got stuck. I pulled out the log chains and pulled this 20,000lb + snow-plow from his demise. This Suburban is one hell of a pulling son-of-a-gun, for a truck with a tow capacity listed at only 10,000lbs.I would highly recommend getting the K2500 Suburban for towing and spaciousness. The stiff springs in the back do give it a choppy ride when empty, and the gas mileage is about 10MPG in town and 15MPG on the highway. Those two things are the only drawbacks to this truck.
